The Herald of Oberlin copies a letter

The Herald Of Oberlin copies q letter
received by C. A. Morning the form
er. proprietor of this paper, from Hon.
Frank Bacon, the register, written to
him in March relative to the pub.ica-
ton of proof notices, and it goes out
of the line of decent journalism to at
tempt to slur this paper. Whether the
FRONTIERsMAN was, or was not ''start-
ed for the purpose of catching the
crumbs that might fall from the Dem
ocratic administration" We do not
know, but We do know that there are
numerous Democratic papers now in
existence in this land district that
would have ''died a-bomin' were it
not for the arbitrary actions of the
officials in the Oberlin Land office. 1t
is despotism of the meanest character
for the land officials TO persue the
course they do relative to the publica-
ton of final proof notices. The settler
sends in his application for notice and
asks that it may be printed in some
paper of his choice near the land, but
the little despot who sits upon a tenn
porary throne says, no you shall not
say who shall do your printing for
which you pay with your own hard
cash, but you must 60 to my Demo
cratic friend over the way and fill his
thin purse How much of the publica-
ton fee finds its way into the officials
purse we cannot say, but if the truth
could be known We would not doubt
but that good per cent of every
final notice fee finds its way in time
into the pocket of either some Of the
the officials or those intimately con-
nected With them. If MIR. Bacon
would permit the settler to choose the
paper, provided it was of proper stand
ing and near the land, then We would
not find any fault, but to say to the
settler. "You must pay MIR. A. sc
much money for your notice and il
makes no difference how cheap any
one else will do il" is too arbitrary
for a Republican form of government
If Uncle Sam or Mr. Bacon paid the
bill then we would fully submit

SAD ANDLONELY.

Dearest mother thou hast left me,
Thy beautiful form no more see,
No more does thy love caress me.
To thy loving side cannot dee.
o! may the time soon come mother
That / too may be called to go
And cross the ocean of sorrow
To dwell on the Ever Green Shore
T'is only a few short summers,
Since you gazed with that bright smile.
Upon your darling so lonely.
In this world of sorrow, care and toll. lness
Now you have gained the realms of bright
Where you'll dwell for ever more;
You have Joined the chorus,
Over on the glittering shore
Oh the homestead is sad and lonely:
There's vacancy in every room.
Where the lovely form once fingered.
Calmly pausing DER picture so fair:
Who Was ever thy love and companion
In this world OF bitter woe.
But alas you have both been taken
From this world of sorrow you've gone:
Jesus has rObed you in garments,
Spotless; yes whittier than snow.
Over thy grave am signing,
AS the wild winds whistle by
To soothe and share my sorrow,
And wipe those tears from my eyes,
Theirs no loving friend to sOothe me
To comfort my wearisOme paths,
The love of Jesus is near me
And breath my task.
But the lilies are growing above thee
Which l so tenderly have cared,
They are bowling their heads above thee.
AS if they might my sorrows share.
But all! will some kind friend
Plant just one lily to weep DER
NY head when am dead.

COLORADO LETTER.

Burlington, COL, April %, 1887.
Ed. ENTERpR1sE:-Thinking let
ter from this place would be of inter
est to your readers l will give you a
brief description Of Ebert county and
its prospects. This county is 40
miles from east to west and 48 miles
from north to south, having as yet
not been sub-divided. Kiowa, the coun-
ty seat, is situated a trifle west of the
center of the county and has less than
200 inhabitants The western portion
of Ebert is quite sandy in many places
and is occupied mostly by cattle men.
The eastern portion of the county is
very fertile, having rich black loan
from 2 to feet in depth and beneath
this sub-soil of a lighter color and
greater depth. Sheet water is found
in abundance and at reasonable
depth. The lay of the country is very
similar to the best divides of Jasper
county, being almost entirely free
from draws and lagoons. Timber can
be had on the Lostman and Republi-
can rivers, and building rock in many
places along the several streams. Two
years ago when l came to Colby Kan
sas. Then good land could be had in
abundance in that, Thomas, county.
The next year the seeker after. these
lands was compelled to 60 farthet. west,
into Cheyenne and Sherman counties,
and to-day he is settiagso o. the ehoise
prairie lands of eastern Colorado. An
other year and good lands cannot be
had within % miles of the Colorado
and Kansas line. During the month of
March, 1887. company of Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa men purchased
the land for and plated the town of
Burlington, situated twelve miles west
of the Kansas and Colorado line and
near what will be the center of now
county when the present county is
sub divided. Over 30 buildings are
already under contract and a number
are now completed The company
have already sold over 200 lots and
have given away over 80 for building
purposes. A through stage line from
Oberlin, Kansas, the present terminus
of the B: & NJ. r. R., is now in Oper-
alton; and the above r. r. has sur.

astrous and stupid Sparks policy:
MR.. CARLIsLE's HOPES.
Washington, May 5 Especial
The STAR to night says: According
to Mr.. Carlisle, the fiftieth congress
will pass q bill reducing very materi-
ally the existing tarif, bat this. he
IsaJs; Win bsacco lisAsd blythe votes
| OF revenue refofmers from the Re
publican ranks in the West. Minneso-
ia will have three reform Democrats
in the next congress. The only hope
of adding to the Democratic strength
lies in catering to that element in the
matter of candidates and capturing the
| Northwest in the matter of tariff is-
sues. Such being the case, the folly
of contemptuously ignoring the
claims to admission as state of such
a populous territory as Dakota be-
comes clear. A half million people,
rapidly growing in number, resent
this treatment and are coming to look
upon the Democrats as their natural
enemies, who, upon the plea of posi-
ole party advantage, have long tram
pied upon their rights. The case OF
Dakota is becoming the concern of
the whole Northwest.
ssTo the refusal to admit Dakota
are added the failure to cOncede the
required opening of part of the Sioux
reservation and the threatened evic
ton without compensation of the de-
luded settlers upon the Crow Greek
and Winnebago reservations, and Tho
disastrous Sparks policy Of unsettl
ing titles, lowering values and dam
aging individual settlers by absurt
technicalities under cover of a pro
longed howl about monopolies, lant
frauds, ETC. Every settler is not a lane
thief, who may be juggled out of hi!
land by the government on any charge
in the accepted construction of thu
land laws which hostile ingenuity Cal
invent. The action of the presiden
in the Miller case will do something
to relieve the settlers mind of tn,
idea of prejudice, but there is wide
spread impression among them tina
the wholesale condemnation of thu
settlers and the drags which hav'
been put upon the growth of the sec
, ton springs from the deliberate Dem
{ ocratic purpose to cripple the North
west and divert immigration from i
as far as possible to the South. A rad
ical revision of policy will be necessa
~ if the Democratic party intends Il
realize Mr.. Carlisle's reasonable hop,
of recruiting in the new Northwest.
